...12.15...Over the Weekend...

...it was a chilly weekend...but the Man mowed up all of the leaves...

...it takes more than one pass with the mower...

...to suck up all the leaves...but it works...and it's easier than raking and transporting them to the curb...

...and I finally pulled up the giant marigolds...and I went ahead and planted some more lettuce in that square foot of garden...no idea if it will actually grow...it is a nice sunny corner though...

...then I wanted to prime the outdoor kitchen storage bench...so the Man diluted the Extreme Bond Primer... 1 to 10...

...so that I could use it in the new HVLP sprayer...another early Christmas pressie...

...but first I had to sand all of the wood putty...

...and then I did a little bit of practice spraying on some cardboard...

...and then I gave everything a coat of primer on the back side...and let that dry...

...and turned it over and did the front...

...but it was so windy that it kept blowing stuff onto my fresh paint...oh well...I'll buff it off with the sander once it's dry...

...meanwhile...we'd gotten these neat little solar lights...they come on dim at dusk and stay on all night...and then if there's motion in the back yard they come on bright...

...so the Man mounted one in the center of each fence panel...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
